Always happy to supply later when asked though. Makes me wonder if Podkolzin has any grasp of the English language, or culture in Canada, or the States? Having a few Russian teammates on the Wings would certainly help, but we all know nobody can really speculate what nationalities will be on the future Wings roster that could help ease the transition into the life of an NHL'er. Drafting Swedes seems rather painless in comparison...Most speak English, and they adjust to the N.American lifestyle exceptionally well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has a North American agent in Newport. When he was at the World Jr. A Challenge in Bonnyville in December, he talked to me about how he tried to go around the rink talking to the locals in English to try and improve his English language skills. Looks like he's trying to learn anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
